How were native Americans and European settlers different in their view of land ownership?

The people had no concept of land ownership. There was the concept that we are responsible for the land so that it will serve the next 7 generations. This meant not to drain the land to the point where the air is polluted, dust bowls are created, drinkable water becomes difficult to find and whole species become extinct, among other things. Rather the land is left in better shape than how it was found.
We only have to look around to get an understanding of how white settlers felt, and for the most part continue to feel about land.
